Definitions
- the present invention relates to a coated cutting tool according to the preamble of claim 1 and as known for example from US-A-5 075.181.
- the invention pertains to a cutting tool, that provides for improved chip control, improved surface finishing properties, and/or improved coating adhesion.
- the invention further pertains to a coated cutting tool with a low cobalt substrate and having a long tool life.
- the invention pertains to a cutting tool, and a method of making the same, with a rake face having microtopographical properties that provide chip control features without the need for a structural chip breaker. More specifically, the rake surface of the cutting tool has an appropriate surface roughness so as to provide chip control properties.
- the invention concerns a cutting tool, and a method of making the same, that has the capability to machine the workpiece so as to present a smooth machined surface. More particularly, the invention concerns a cutting tool with a flank face that is smooth so as to produce a desirably smooth surface finish on the surface of the workpiece.
- the invention pertains to a cutting tool, and a method of making the same, having a coating scheme thereon, such as, for example, a single layer coating deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or a multi-layer coating wherein at least one layer is deposited by PVD, wherein the coating has improved adhesion.
- a coating scheme thereon such as, for example, a single layer coating deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or a multi-layer coating wherein at least one layer is deposited by PVD, wherein the coating has improved adhesion.
- Certain machining operations such as, for example, threading, grooving or cutoff, have the tendency to produce long chip strings or "birds nests". The production of these long chip strings, as opposed to shorter C-shaped/figure six-shaped chips or short coils, are not desirable.
- Certain materials are difficult to machine without creating long chip strings. In other words, due to the very nature of the material there is the tendency to produce long chip strings through any machining operation on these materials. These materials include titanium alloys, aluminum alloys and low carbon steels.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,710,069 to Loquist illustrates a cutting tool that provides a structural chip breaker in the form of a number of depressions that cooperate with the chip breaking face.
- PVD physical vapor deposition
- the thickness could not exceed about 5 micrometers and still maintain adequate adherence to the substrate for cutting tool applications. Because of the high residual stresses associated with the application of a PVD-applied TiC or cubic Boron Nitride coating, such a coating has not been able to applied at any functional thickness, i.e., a thickness that is sufficient for the cutting tool to be commercially practical, with adequate adhesion strength.
- multi-layer coating schemes applied by a combination of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and PVD techniques.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- PVD physical vapor deposition
- One such example of a multi-layer coating scheme comprises a base layer of TiN applied by CVD, an intermediate layer of TiCN applied by CVD, and a top layer of TiN applied by PVD techniques to a substrate that has binder enrichment in a surface layer.
- This combination coating scheme is a subject of U.S. Patent No. 5,250,367 to Santhanam et al. entitled BINDER ENRICHED CVD AND PVD COATED CUTTING TOOL, and assigned to the assignee of the present patent application.
- the substrate has a bulk cobalt content of 3 to 12 weight percent with 5 to 8 weight percent and 5.5 to 7 weight percent as more preferable ranges for the cobalt content. Specific examples include cobalt contents of 10.5, 8.5 and 9.5 weight percent cobalt.
- the cobalt has a range of 3 to 12 weight percent with more preferable ranges of 5 to 7 weight percent and 5.7 to 6.3 weight percent.
- the specific examples show cobalt contents of 6.0, 8.5, 9.75, 10, 10.5 and 11.5 weight percent.
- the binder (cobalt) ranges between 5 and 15 weight cobalt with more preferable ranges being between 7 and 13 weight percent and 8 and 12 weight percent cobalt.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,066,553 to Yoshimura entitled SURFACE-COATED TOOL MEMBER OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE BASED CEMENTED CARBIDE mentions the resintering of a substrate to achieve better adherence for a CVD applied coating.
- a cutting tool By providing such a cutting tool, one can reduce the costs of manufacture by lowering the cost of manufacturing the rams that form the powder material into the shape of the cutting tool.
- Such a cutting tool can also lower the cost of manufacture by decreasing the number of rams that the manufacturer must keep in inventory.
- Such a cutting tool will also reduce the costs associated with selling and distributing cutting tools due to the reduction in the number of cutting tools that the user must keep in inventory.
- an improved cutting tool that has a PVD coating that exhibits improved adherence to the substrate, that has thicker PVD coatings, and that permits the use of new adherent PVD-applied coatings such as, for example, TiC, aluminum oxide, and cubic boron nitride.
- the present invention is directed to a coated cutting tool having a substrate presenting a surface wherein the surface includes a rake face and flank face with the rake face and the flank face intersecting to form a cutting edge, and a PVD coating on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, for example, as disclosed in US-Patent No. 5,075,181, which is considered to be the closest prior art.
- the coated cutting tool according to the invention is characterized in that the portion of the substrate surface which is coated has a surface roughness between about 15 microinches R a and about 125 microinches R a ; and the PVD coating has an adherence as measured by the Rockwell A indentation adhesion load test of greater than or equal to 60 kg.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a first specific embodiment of the cutting tool of the invention generally designated as 20.
- Cutting tool 20 includes a substrate 22 which has a rake face 24 and a flank face 26.
- the cutting tool substrate may also be made in any of the standard shapes and sizes such as those identified in the American National Standard for Cutting Tools - Indexable Inserts - Identification System, ANSI B212.4-1986. Inserts may also have various chipbreaker structures (not shown) on their rake face as well to facilitate breakage and removal of chips.
- the substrate 22 can be selected from many possible substrate materials suitable for use as a cutting tool substrate.
- Basic material categories includes tool steels, cemented carbides, cermets, ceramics, ceramic composites, polycrystalline diamond, and polycrystalline cubic Boron Nitride as candidates for a cutting tool substrate.
- one substrate is a cobalt cemented tungsten carbide composition.
- the cobalt ranges between about .2 weight percent to about 20 weight percent with the balance consisting essentially of tungsten carbide, and optionally, carbides and carbonitrides with tungsten, titanium, tantalum, zirconium, hafnium and/or niobium.
- cermets In the category of cermets there are titanium carbonitride-based materials having a cobalt and/or nickel binder metal. These cermets include the following grades of cermets sold by Kennametal Inc. of Latrobe, Pennsylvania (assignee of the present patent application): KT125, KT150, KT175, and KT195.
- ceramics there are silicon nitride-based, or aluminum oxide-based, ceramics with or without reinforcement additives such as silicon carbide and titanium carbide in whisker or particulate form.
- whisker reinforced ceramics In the category of ceramic composites there are whisker reinforced ceramics. Examples of these types of composites includes silicon carbide whiskers and/or titanium carbide whiskers in an alumina matrix.
- a coating 28 covers the rake face 24 and the flank face 26 of the substrate 22.
- the use of a coating 28 may or may not be necessary depending upon the specific application and the specific substrate of the cutting tool. In those cases where coatings are used, there are many variations for a coating scheme.
- a single or multi-layer coating may be applied by physical vapor deposition techniques.
- One such example is a coating of TiAIN or TiN applied by PVD.
- One example of a multi-layer coating is a TiN-TiCN-TiN coating scheme such as that mentioned in U.S. Patent No. 5,250,367 to Santhanam et al. which discloses coating schemes that comprise a combination of CVD and PVD techniques or U.S. Patent 5,075,181 to Quinto et al. which discloses a multi-layer coating scheme applied solely by PVD techniques.
- coating layers may be used for cutting tools include the carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and borides of zirconium, titanium, hafnium and their alloys, alumina, cubic Boron Nitride, silicon nitride, and a thin film polycrystalline diamond layer.
- the rake face 24 of the substrate 22 consists of a microscopically rough surface.
- the peripheral edge 30 of the substrate 22 is at the joinder of the rake face 24 and the flank face 26.
- the flank face 26 presents a relatively smooth surface.
- coating 28 is illustrated in the first specific embodiment (FIG. 2) as a single layer.
- the coating 28 overlies the substrate 22 so that the complete coated cutting tool 20 presents an exposed rake face 34 and an exposed flank face 36.
- the exposed rake face 34 has a microscopically rough surface.

- the cutting tool of FIGS. 16 and 17 has good coating adhesion to the rake and flank surfaces of the substrate due to the rough rake and flank surfaces of the substrate. This cutting tool has a reduced tendency for a built-up edge on the coated rake face due to the surface smoothness of the coated rake face. This cutting tool provides a good workpiece surface finish due to the surface smoothness of the coated flank face of the cutting tool.
- the basic substrate is preferably made by conventional powder metallurgical techniques. More specifically, the powder components of the substrate are blended and pressed into a green compact. The green compact is then subsequently heat treated, such as by sintering, so as to form a substantially fully dense substrate (in the case of a coated cutting tool) or the uncoated cutting tool.
- a powder blend can be formed into a substantially fully dense body by the simultaneous application of heat and pressure such as, for example, by hot pressing.
- One variation of the sintering process of making the substantially fully dense substrate is to use a ram that forms the powder into the green compact which will form the necessary surface roughness in the green compact.
- a ram that forms the powder into the green compact which will form the necessary surface roughness in the green compact.
- the surface roughness of the as-sintered (or substantially fully dense) tool is excessive, only the undesirably rough locations of the tool may be ground, polished, laser glazed, or otherwise finished to produce the necessary level of smoothness.
- This necessary level of smoothness may, in the case of the flank face, be sufficient to generate a smooth workpiece finish in cutting, yet still leave the rough rake surface of the tool intact to produce the desired chip-flow control.
- the level of smoothness may be sufficient to reduce the tendency for a built-up edge on the rake face.
- the flank surface of the substrate may be in a rough condition so as to improve the coating adhesion on the flank surface of the substrate.
- the tool may be used as-is in the above described condition.
- the tool may be used in an uncoated condition. More commonly, however, this tool will serve as a substrate for a protective wear-resistant coating applied by CVD or PVD methods and then used in the cutting application.
- the coating process parameters as known to those skilled in the art are such that the roughness characteristic of the rake and flank surfaces of the tool may be unchanged from that of the substrate prior to the coating operation.
- the surface roughness of the coated tool is a function of the roughness of the underlying substrate surface and the thickness of the deposited coating.
- the surface roughness of the coating also tends to increase regardless of the underlying surface roughness of the substrate. This could result in the exposed coated surfaces somewhat rougher than the surfaces of the substrate, however, such an increase in surface roughness of the rake surface of the substrate is not deleterious to the desirable chip control properties.
- the increase in surface roughness of the substrate does not negatively impact on the adhesion of the coating to the substrate, but will typically improve the adhesion.
- An increase in the surface roughness of the coated rake surface may generate a problem of a built up edge, i.e., material from the chip is welded to the rake surface of the cutting tool.
- a post coating operation such as polishing, buffing, or laser glazing all or some of the rake surfaces of the tool may be required to smooth the surface of the coating to an acceptable surface smoothness, thus, reducing the potential for the occurrence of a built up edge.
- the built-up edge is a problem that is workpiece material dependent. While smoothing the rake surface reduces chip control properties, it still leaves the coating with good adhesion due to the surface roughness of the rake face of the substrate.
- Still another variation on the basic process uses an additional resintering step after the initial processing of the substrate.
- the purpose of the resintering is to enlarge the grains of the substrate, e.g., tungsten carbide, at the surface so as to form a rough irregular surface.
- the irregular surface presents a surface with the necessary roughness.
- the surface of an as-sintered tungsten carbide based cemented carbide substrate is composed of tungsten carbide hard grains bound together by cobalt or a cobalt alloy.
- the cobalt is not only between the tungsten carbide grains, but also covers some of the tungsten carbide grains at the substrate surface due to the wetting properties of Co and tungsten carbide under vacuum sintering conditions.
- the as-sintered and ground substrate described above is now resintered under time, temperature and atmospheric conditions, to cause grain growth and binder depletion from its surfaces.
- the time and temperature are selected such that sufficient grain growth occurs on the surface of the resintered substrate to produce a surface roughness, R a , in the ranges set out above for the rough rake surface 24.
- the resintering times required to achieve the required surface roughness will depend on the starting material and the sintering conditions. As temperature increases, resintering times should decrease. For some cemented tungsten carbide compositions, resintering times of 2 to 3 hours at 1510°C (2750°F) have been found to be sufficient to provide the needed surface roughness. If the desired surface roughness is not produced after the first resintering treatment, the substrate may be resintered again until the desired surface roughness is produced.
- the atmosphere during the resintering treatment may also be important to obtaining good coating adhesion to the substrate. It is believed that if a nitrogen atmosphere is utilized during this treatment, the amount of cobalt on the resulting rough surface will be minimized.
- the nitrogen partial pressure should be controlled to allow cobalt evaporation from the surface. During the resintering one should minimize re-wetting of the surface by additional cobalt from the bulk of the substrate.
- the most beneficial nitrogen partial pressure may, therefore, be a function of the substrate composition.
- Nitrogen partial pressure may also be controlled or varied during the resintering cycle(s) to control the amount and rate of cobalt evaporation from the bulk of the substrate. It is believed that a 0.3 to 50 torr, preferably, 0.3 to 5, and more preferably, 0.3 to 2 torr nitrogen atmosphere should be utilized. It is theorized that the nitrogen atmosphere may allow cobalt on the exterior surfaces of the grains on the substrate surface to evaporate, while sufficient cobalt remains between the surface tungsten carbide grains to keep them well bonded to the remainder of the substrate. Cobalt surface evaporation is accompanied by tungsten carbide grain growth at the surface, resulting in surface roughening.
- the substrate may then be coated by physical vapor deposition techniques, chemical vapor deposition techniques, or a combination of techniques that includes physical vapor deposition techniques.
- the tool in this condition may be CVD or PVD coated prior to use. If the as-resintered tool is coated directly, the outermost surface of the coating on flank surfaces will preferably be smoothed by polishing, buffing, laser glazing, or the like in the zone that comes in contact with the workpiece in order that the tool generates the smoothest workpiece surface finish in the cutting operation.
- the roughness of the rake surface has the same ranges as set out above for the rough rake surface 24.
- peripheral grinding, polishing, buffing, or laser glazing the flank surface of the tool will smooth the flank surface while leaving the rough rake surface intact.
- the flank face is subjected to buffing so that the roughness of the flank surface is in the same ranges set out above for the smooth flank face 36.
- Still another variation on the process of making the basic substrate is to grind, EDM (electric discharge machine), or laser etch a surface roughness into the as-sintered substrate at selected positions on the surface of the rake face.
- EDM electric discharge machine
- laser etch a surface roughness into the as-sintered substrate at selected positions on the surface of the rake face.
- cutting tools especially those made from cemented tungsten carbide, are typically fabricated by cold pressing and vacuum (i.e., at a pressure of about 10 -2 to 10 -3 torr) sintering techniques
- cold pressing and vacuum i.e., at a pressure of about 10 -2 to 10 -3 torr
- any of conventional techniques may be used to obtain the basic as-sintered substrate for the present invention.
- the starting substrate was a cobalt cemented tungsten carbide of the following composition and properties: 2.3 to 2.9 weight percent Co; up to 0.4 weight percent Ta; up to 0.1 weight percent Ti; up to 0.1 weight percent Nb and other impurities; and the balance being WC.
- the cutting tool that was used was a SPG-422 (.0005 inch radius hone) style of tool, which did not have a structural chip breaker.
- the resintering was performed at 2750°F for three hours in about 0.5 torr nitrogen atmosphere to produce a surface roughness of above 45 microinches R a .
- Resintering of the as-sintered and ground substrate typically results in the reduction of the cobalt content in the resintered substrate due to cobalt evaporation at the surface during the resintering process.
- the buffing was performed for two minutes per edge using a nylon brush whose bristles were impregnating with 120 mesh diamond grit rotating at a speed of 1000 rpm.
- the brush is available from Jason, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio.
- adhesion between the coating and the substrate was determined by an indentation adhesion test using a Rockwell hardness tester with a Rockwell A scale Brale cone shaped diamond indenter at a selected load range of 15kg, 30kg, 45kg, 60kg and 100kg.
- the adhesive strength was defined as the minimum load at which the coating debonded and/or flaked. Measurements were performed at two sites on the inserts. The measurements of "100 +" indicate that the coating did not debond or flake at the load of 100kg, which was the maximum load used in these tests.

- Sample Nos. CN88 and CN89 each showed indentation load results of 100+Kg as compared to sample EB46 which had indentation adhesion load measurements of 45kg and 60kg.

- the indentation load results show that for the multi-layer coating [CVD-TiN/CVD-TiCN/PVD-TiN] there is no significant difference in the indentation adherence load test results between the cutting tools with an as-ground substrate and the cutting tools with a resintered substrate.

- the uniform flank wear (“fw”) failure mode occurred when the uniform flank wear reached .015 inches.
- the maximum localized flank wear (“mw”) failure mode occurred when the maximum localized flank wear reached .030 inches.
- the maximum crater depth (“cr”) failure mode occurred when the maximum crater depth as measured from the surface of the rake face reached .004 inches.
- the maximum depth-of-cut notch (“dn”) failure mode occurred when the depth-of-cut notch reached .030 inches.
- the maximum chipping (“ch”) failure mode occurred when the size of the chip reached .030 inches.
- the designation “bk” means that the cutting tool broke.
- this row reflects the condition of the cutting tool at the end of 40 minutes of turning assuming that the cutting tool was turning at the 40 minute point in the test. This row indicates the condition and the extent of wear for that condition in one-thousandths of an inch.
- the corner flaking rating is a numerical rating that rates the extent of corner flaking of the coating.
- the flank flaking rating is a numerical rating that rates the extent of flank flaking of the coating. For both of these ratings, the rating of "5" means that there was no flaking of the coating. The rating of "3” means that there was noticeable flaking. The rating “1” means that there was severe flaking of the coating.
- the rating "4" is between ratings “5" and “3"
- the rating "2" is between ratings "3" and "1".
- the chip flow rating is a numerical rating that rates the extent of chip flow damage to the coating.
- the rating “5" means that there was no damage due to chip flow.
- the rating “3” means that there was noticeable damage due to chip flow.
- the rating “1” means that there was severe chip flow damage.
- the rating "4" is between ratings “5,” and “3”.
- the rating “2” is between ratings “3” and “1”.
- the conventional KC730 cutting tool had a tool life of 2.0 minutes and the failure mode was chipping.
- the corner flaking rating was 2, the flank flaking rating was 5, and the chip flow damage rating was 4.
- the conventional uncoated K11 cutting tool had a tool life of 0.4 minutes and the failure mode was breakage.
- the chip flow damage rating was 4.
- the cutting tools having the as-ground substrate with a single thin (3.5 micrometers) PVD layer of TiAlN experienced much greater tool life in the turning of 304 stainless steel than the conventional cutting tool and the cutting tools having the resintered substrate.
- the as-ground cutting tool (EB46-AL) had a tool life of 40+ minutes as compared to 10 minutes and 2 minutes.
- the cutting tools that had the resintered substrate had the best ratings for corner flaking, flank flaking, and chip flow damage as compared to the cutting tools with the as-ground substrate.
- the average workpiece surface finish was higher, i.e., rougher, for the cutting tool with a resintered substrate. Buffing the flank of the cutting tool with the resintered substrate helped reduce the roughness of the workpiece surface finish.
- the cutting tools having the as-ground substrate with the single thick (10.5 micrometer) PVD layer of TiAlN experienced much greater tool life in the turning of 304 stainless steel than the conventional cutting tool.
- the cutting tools with the resintered substrate and the single thick PVD layer of TiAlN experienced greater tool life than the conventional cutting tool, but less tool life than the as-ground cutting tools.
- the resintered cutting tools had a better corner flaking rating and flank flaking rating than the as-ground cutting tools.
- the as-ground cutting tools had the best chip flow damage rating.
- the as-ground cutting tool resulted in workpiece surface finishes that were the smoothest.
- the resintered cutting tools had the roughest workpiece surface finishes. Buffing reduced the workpiece surface roughness (CO08-RHB).
- the cutting tools with the multi-layer coating experienced improved tool life over that of the conventional cutting tool.
- the resintered cutting tools had excellent corner flaking and flank flaking ratings.
- the as-ground cutting tool had the best chip flow damage rating while the other cutting tools had lower ratings.
- the resintered cutting tools subjected to buffing produced workpieces with the smoothest surface finishes.
- the resintered cutting tools produced workpieces with the roughest surface finishes.
- Example EB46-AL (as-ground low cobalt substrate/ 3.5 ⁇ m TiAlN PVD coating) had a tool life of 40.0+ minutes with no failure.
- Example EB56-AH (as-ground low cobalt substrate/ 10.5 ⁇ m TiAlN PVD coating) had a tool life of 40.0+ minutes with no tool failure.
- Example EB66-A (as-ground low cobalt substrate/CVD-PVD coating) had a tool life of 40.0+ minutes with no failure.
- Example CQ87-R (resintered low cobalt substrate/CVD-PVD coating) had a tool life of 40.0 minutes with failure by chipping.
- Example CQ87-RB (resintered and buffed low cobalt substrate/ CVD-PVD coating) had a tool life of 40.0+ minutes with no failure.
- the use of a low cobalt-WC substrate with any one of the coating schemes results in a tool life that surpasses the comparable conventional cutting tools (KC730 and uncoated Kll).
- coating schemes as set forth in the specification herein have application for use with substrates that present a binder-enriched peripheral layer. When used with the binder-enriched substrates, these coating schemes should have the same advantages and beneficial results that exist with respect to the low cobalt substrates as set forth in this specification.
